Meeting and Pickup

Pickup point
Pickup details

Because the Barbados pier is used for both cruise ships and cargo, you will most likely take a shuttle bus to the cruise terminal. On exiting the terminal you will arrive at the gate departure area. Our Excursions depart from Gate 1. A representative from Beautiful Barbados will meet you in this area. He or she will be holding a Beautiful Barbados sign and will direct you to your tour vehicle. We can't stress enough the importance of being on time for all trips.

The Bridge of itself was called the Indian BridgeThe main street Broad Street was named Broad Street as it is the broadest street in the town.In the early years the streets in town were ill kept and in 1656 legislature passed and act where persons not keeping the space in front of their property clean could be fined 100 pounds of sugar for each day of noncompliance.Bridgetown's Swamp was filled in and replaced with a canal.The lower part of the Constitution is called the Careenage.

Morgan Lewis Windmill is among the World Monuments Fund list of 100 Most Endangered Sites in the World.

St. John's Parish Church

Built in 1846 to replace the church that was destroyed by the Great Hurricane of 1831, this classic Gothic church is solid and soaring. The church grounds are serene and the cliff-edge site commands a sweeping view of the picturesque east coast. A noteworthy statue and funerary plaques add to the interest, and a small guidebook gives you details. In the churchyard rests Ferdinando Paleologus, a descendant of Emperor Constantine the Great, whose family was driven from the throne in Constantinople by the Turks. Ferdinando died here in 1678, after being a resident for over 20 years. Though always English, Barbados has attracted multinationals for quite some time.

In case of attack, the forts and soldiers could be quickly readied to defend the island. In the signal tower a chart shows just what detailed information could be relayed with the use of a few flags. The signal stations were also used to warn of slave rebellions on the island.
